Behind every great man there's a great woman !

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.

Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?" She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant?" Michelle responded, “No, if I had married him, he would now be the President.”

Believe it or not, sometimes it's a woman that makes a man who he is. So for the single men that are still searching for a wife, may God help you to find that help mate that will turn you from " a nobody" into "a somebody". For that single lady that is reading this, may you be that blessing no man can do without.

Got a cheap meal in a medium class restaurant

Recently, me and my wife found a voucher at a cinema, then in the voucher there is a free french toast. worth rm5.90 (the last time i checked the pricing) at Kim Gary and the condition is on a single receipt you can get one for free. The best part is that there is no minimum amount we have to order! So we decided to give it a try, we ordered a glass of sky juice which cost about RM0.60 and gave the voucher to the waitress, plus my wife is a student, she get 30% off. Then when the bill arrive we just have to pay RM0.50 (after inclusive of service charge and discount) for a french toast and a glass of water! Now thats what you call good and cheap!

Hot dog! Hot dog! Come get your hot dog!

Delivereat is now delivering hot dog's to your house. This is true for Georgetown area as well as Bayan Lepas area. Today is the launch day for the delivery for hot dogs from Roti Impitzz a local Malaysian brand, a company of Ayamazz which serves premium sausages, bubble teas and pasta meals. While for Bayan Lepas is Red Hot, also another local brand which also serves premium sausages and bubble tea as well. Selling burgers and hot dogs is not something new in Malaysia, this can be seen at the road sides mushrooming all about. Most recently is that most of this stalls (those well established with a reputation of a good burger or hot dog) will try to out wit one another trying to produce different tastes to their burger or hot dogs. They may try to change the sauce they put on the buns, or the way they cook the burgers and hot dogs, either through the traditional grilling or the newest invention of the barbecue/burger bakar. Or producing their own patty or hot dog recipe to make it stand out from the majority.

Then why should I order from Delivereat hot dogs? Well we provide you a healthier alternative from the traditional way of cooking sausages. Usually at the road side its pan grilled which is of course oily and greasy, they may use cheap sausages. While we bring premium sausages and the way they cook their sausages is by steaming them. which retains their juiciness and reduces the need for additional oil to cook them. The surplus is we deliver them to your house. 

I have attached a video from youtube on how it's made hot dogs.

Well the process of the sausages can be varies from different country. 

As Malaysians we unite!

I believe most of know that the General Election is coming around the corner and this time everything is so uncertain. Who will lead us, who will be the next Government? All this questions does resound in out mind. We as citizens of Malaysia now have the power to choose who should make the next Government. Now, I am not going to write about politics but about our race heritage and culture that what makes us UNIQUE from the rest of our neighbours as elections draw near we as Malaysian's should stand up for what is right and be untied to ensure peace and harmony in the country!

One thing that unite us the most is our food, yes you heard me our FOOD! If you walk into a chinese kopitiam you will see Indian and Chinese having their meals together, either sharing a conversations with one another. You could also see the famous Mee Goreng in Bangkok lane, is housed in a chinese kopitiam serving all sorts of food ranging from hokkien mee to nasi kandar. Malay, Chinese, Indian family would purposely go there enjoying plates of mee goreng. Even the famous Nasi Kandar in penang is enjoyed by all walks of live. Not to forget a favourite eating spot of mine and most night owls out there, is Abu mamak stall near Penang road, ah.. that is one of the best place to be with colleagues from work or mates from the near by colleges it practically a place where regardless of race your able to enjoy the meals served there. There is a Chinese Muslim Restaurant in Bayan Baru, that serves Chinese style food made halal to cater to our Muslim friends. Look at Delivereat and you will notice that we try to cater to all races, to us everyone is equal regardless of skin colour. As long as you have internet you can just make your order online!

Remembering your origins is import as well but we shouldn't feed the seed of hatred to those around us, our children, family and  to other races around us.- anonymous

Sometimes we take this simple things for granted. If you talk to an Indian uncle, some of them can speak very fluent Hokkien, and there are some Chinese Uncles who could even speak very fluent Tamil. While there are some Malay uncles which is able to speak both Tamil and Chinese, while all three of them uses the bahasa Malaysia as a medium of communication even though they come from different backgrounds! The best way to sum it up is "if you cut your hand wont you bleed, if I cut mine wont i bleed as well?" We are humans regardless of skin colour or background! So let us unite because we can make a difference for our country! WE are Malaysians!

If you have been going out on the streets you will notice that the roads that leads to your local cemetery  you will notice that its jam, filled with people during the while day since wee hours in the morning especially during the weekends. Then if you look at the roads leading to churches you will notice its also jam because its Easter especially churches having Good Friday service on Friday and Easter on Sunday. If you head to malls it would be quiet. As many people would be attending these two events which is taking place during this weekend and certain malls would be having their annual promotions themes based on Easter. But do we know what does these events symbolizes?

Well for Easter, its celebrated on Sunday. Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Christians believe, according to scripture, that Jesus was resurrected back from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him for eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Cheng Beng can be done 10 days before and after the actual day. During this time, the living relatives and friends would pay their respect to their ancestors and the dearly departed annually. In Penang, the Chinese community can be seen weeding and cleaning the graves of those departed as well as providing offerings of the departed to make purchases where they are, Daily necessities such as clothes, shoes and even some luxury such as gold Rolex watches and he latest handphones are also burnt for the dead to use.

Malaysian Mixed Food Cuisines!

I know its been a while since I post something here almost a week d... Well have you had a Malaysian cuisine? Of course we have heard of Western cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Indian cuisine and Malay cuisine. But "Malaysian cuisine"? Well a briefly explanation  Malaysia cuisine is mostly influenced by the various cultures from all around the world. As we know Malaysia is made mostly 3 different race ethnics - Malays, Chinese, and Indians living together mostly in harmony. As a result of historical migration and Malaysia's geographical advantage, Malaysia's culinary style is  mixture of Malays, Chinese, Indians, Thais, and Arabian cuisines. This resulted in a symphony of flavours, and making Malaysian cuisines highly exotic albeit a touch underrated as compared to some our neighbouring counterparts. As we walks the streets of Malaysia, we are lucky to have all sorts of varieties of cuisines served either in their original recipe or modified into a fusion as we know today the norms of local food! I will briefly state the origins of the cuisines found in Malaysia!

Food Types

Malay food

Malay cuisines bears a lot of similarities to Indonesian cuisine, some of the regional traditions from Sumatra. It is also influenced by Chinese, Indian, Thai and many other cultures throughout history, producing a distinct cuisine of their own. Many of Malay dishes revolves around a rempah, which is a spice paste. Rempahs are created by grinding up fresh and/or dried spices and herbs to create a spice paste which is then sauteed in oil to bring out the aromas. Hmm.. now that is what you call a little of spice makes a difference.
Food example: Nasi Lemak!

Malaysian Indian Food

Malaysian Indian cuisine of the ethnic Indians in Malaysia is very similar to its roots in India, especially South India although there some with North India influences too. Before meal its a customary to wash hands, reason being food is often eaten using hand, there is also a serving spoon for each respective dish. This cuisine consists of curries which uses a lot of spices, coconut milk, and curry leaves. Some of the most popular curries include chicken curry, fish curry and squid curry.
Food example: banana leaf rice

Malaysian Chinese Food

Malaysian Chinese food is derived from mainland southern Chinese cuisine such as Fujian cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Hakka cuisine but has been influenced by local ingredients and dishes from other cultures though it remains distinctly Chinese. Most of Chinese cuisines has pork as their sub-ingredient, but due to the popularity and unique taste of the actual food, there are chicken options available for the local Malays. Now of days it can be seen Chinese restaurant serving halal food.
Food example: Chee Cheong fun (Chinese : 豬腸粉)

Nyonya Food

Nyonya food was developed by the Nyonya known as Straits Chinese and Pernakan mixed Chinese/Malay ancestry of Malaysia and Singapore. It mainly Chinese ingredients but blends them with South-East Asian spices such as coconut milk, lemon grass, turmeric, screwpines leaves, chilles and sambal. It can be considered as a blend of Chinese and Malay cooking with some Thai influences
Food example: Acar

Sarawak Indigenous Cuisine

There is also Sarawakian cuisine which tends to have a distinct cuisine from their Peninsula counterparts. Some of them are part of the traditional cuisine of the natives, while some are influenced by either Chinese or Indian cuisine.
Food example: Sarawak Kolo Mee

Malaysia being a multicultural country, Malaysians have over the years adapted each others dishes to suit the taste buds of their own culture. For instance, Malaysians of Chinese descent have adapted the Indian curry, and made it more dilute and less spicy to suit their taste. Chinese noodles have been crossed with Indian and Malay tastes and thus we have Malay Mee Goreng and Indian Mee Goreng were borned.

So as Malaysians we have to appreciate the unity and the peace God has given us as a nation to live in. We are united not only by the name Malaysia but by the food and culture. As the saying goes food speaks many languages. So you dont have to know the language of the other person to enjoy a meal with them.

NANANA.. BLACK BALL!!

(For those who are wondering what is nanana, its actually an old theme song for batman)

Yummy yam balls!! which is chewy and when served with ice and other topping, makes it so delectable!! Seriously, the yam balls are fragrant and tasty. Its one of the signature topping that makes Blackball stand out from the others. Some more its a healthy dessert, reason being its 100% vege (good news for vegetarians out there and to our muslim counterpart) means there is no meat used in the production of the balls. There are two different types which personally are my favourite, the yam ball and the sweet potato ball. Not to forget leave out the icy cooling sensation of "xian cao" a.k.a grass jelly. This one offers a non-sweet jelly which promotes good health and low in calories!

What is 'Xian Cao" 仙草 ?

The herb Xian Cao is also know as Jiao gu lan (绞股蓝) is nicknames Southern Ginseng.

Properties according to chinese medicine.

It's referred to as southern ginseng because of it's properties are similar to ginseng as far as tonifying the chi, clearing the mind and mental pathways, and boosting the following organs:

Lung (good for your wei qi - defensive qi/immune system)
Kidney (good for your bones, growth, reproductive systems, bowels, knees and lower back - sometimes parralled to our endocrine system)
Spleen (good for transforming the food we eat into energy used daily, as well as transporting it throughout the bodym as well as being chiefly responsible for the maintenance of our muscles).

The main difference between ginseng and xian cao is ginseng is warming in it's nature and has the stronger action in tonifying the body, because of its strong, warming nature which makes it suitable to be take in moderation. But Xian Cao is cooling and is more delicate, thus making it more suitable for regular usage.

Properties according to western medical science

Biomedically, Xian Cao is great for:
Reducing stress
Lowering LDL (low density lipoproteins) and raising HDL (high density lipoproteins) levels, therefore overall lowering cholesterol
Improving fat metabolism
Boosting energy
Strengthening the immune system
Sharpening mental function
More about Jiao gu lan/xian ciao

The importance of Xian Cao and  yam ball to Blackball because its special name was given through the main ingredient, ;Xian Cao', its black jelly goodness and the yam balls in their dessert creations which was originally made by the founder of Black Ball Mr. Tang, an accomplished tour guide and dessert connoisseur in Taiwan- who has traveled far and wide just to taste the best and then creates his own unique Blackball recipe using "Xian Cao", a famous Taiwanese tea and dessert ingredient that is best produced in 'Guan Xi' district. He has the passion of wanting everyone to taste his recipe and dessert creations he started the first Blackball outlet in Taipei in 2006 because he strongly believed in Xian Cao's health benefits and the great taste of his delicious creations. Now, in Malaysia, it began when Mr. Tang met Alex & Endie on the same path, both passionate dessert lovers in search of that special taste for everyone back home to share and savor. They made it possible for us to experience their premium quality desserts.
